Katy Perry claims she did not pay for Super Bowl Halftime gig

[Morphine Prince 96,069]

Katy Perry says that she did not pony up for the opportunity to headline a gig that is annually the world's most-watched concert, the Super Bowl halftime show. "I put my foot down very early in the courtship," she told The Associated Press in a recent interview. "I said, 'Look guys, here's where I draw a line in the sand.' I want to be invited on my own merits and not with some fine print."

The pop singer went on to say that she remained adamant to her position during negotiations. "I don't even care if my contract leaks," she said. "I have nothing to hide, basically."

Perry, who said her performance would last 12 minutes and comprise two different "worlds," also described herself as the perfect halftime performer in the interview. "I'm all about female empowerment and uplifting people's spirits, and people finding their own voice with songs like 'Roar' and 'Firework,' so maybe there is no better person [for the show]," she said. "Hopefully I can bring that incredible strength and empowerment to people through the performance."

The Super Bowl will take place on February 1st at Glendale, Arizona's University of Phoenix Stadium.

Of course, I'm sure the Superbowl were happy to have her play without paying because of what an esteemed live performer she is

I don't think she payed, they just chose her biggest she is the biggest popstar in the planet right now and also the most appealing one along with taylor swift

[Nick1495 991]

The delusion of her thinking she's the epitome of female empowerment and that no one can represent that better than her.

Whatever, I'm glad that she's content with her work.

If this was Gaga you would all say "Glad she cleared that up in a mature way, the most selfless pop star around!"

Come off it like damn, this was a very nice response from Katy and I, for one, believe her.
